Dropbox

Anyone found a solution to the missing dropbox option in the context (right click) menu for the contents of the dropbox public folder?

You'll probably be more likely to get useful suggestions to this question if you take it up in the Dropbox forum:

There was one comment that Finder integration is only working on Lion right now when you have the folders in icon view.
Regards.

Dropbox syncing to wrong folder

I have a dropbox account which syncs all my uploaded data to the Dropbox Folder in my home directory. However, recently I had changed the name of my home directory and dropbox syncs my uploaded data into the folder on the old home directory rather than to the dropbox folder in my new home directory. Can anybody help me with how to make dropbox sync the data into my new home directory? By the way, what I did in order to change my home directory name was I used this command in the terminal:
sudo mv /Users/oldname /Users/newshortname
and then in "Users & Groups" in System Preferences I changed my home directory in Advanced Options under my name.

I think the Unlink This Computer button in Dropbox/Preferences/Account should remove it from the old account then Link should add it to the new account.

How to add 'Other' cloud storage accounts - alongside Dropbox, Evernote etc in AiO Remote

I wonder if anybody knows what types of 'Other' accounts can be added in the Cloud Storage settings in HP All In One Printer Remote mobile apps. The usual options for Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive etc are there but there is also an option of 'Other' under the 'Add Account' section.
In 'Other' you are asked for the following details:
Name (An identification name)
User Name
Password
Server URL
I'm wondering whether this is for FTP or WebDAV or HTTP Post etc? I'm hoping the answer is WebDAV. The issue here is that I would rather use a service I host myself than a Public Cloud Service.
Any ideas or assistance gratefully received.
Many thanks,
James

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the HP All In One Printer Remote mobile app. After explore the app, on both Android and iOS, here is what I found.
The option that you describe is only found in the iOS app. I found the "other" that you spoke about in the settings menu. My understanding of this is that you can connect to a server, etc. Here is what it says in my settings:
Name (My server)
User Name ([email protected])
Password
Server URL (http://host.com)
Please understand that the above example is from an iPad Air running iOS 7.
Hope this helps.

Multiple apple dropboxes for one account

Can you have multiple apple dropbox accounts in the public folder for one user account? EX: instructor account and 3 different public dropboxes for 3 different users on the same instructor account? Using mountain lion and the users are not mac (computer) experts they are just "users"

You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?, can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?

after loading photos to dropbox i can´t view them in full screen in iphoto ... i can only view them small ... when i click on them this sign "!" appears... do you know how to fix this????

If you're loading photos to drop box why do you expect to see them in iPhoto?
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How do you export a pdf from acrobat dc to dropbox on a mac

I have been using dropbox for years and have never had a problem exporting a pdf to it until I got Adobe Acrobat DC. Please tell me how to export to a dropbox file.

"stored on acrobat" – PDF files in your acrobat.com account ("Files" or "Workspace")?
If so then you can access those from your install Adobe Reader Mobile app.
What's New :: My Account
Once accessed it is simply easy to transfer the PDFs to the iPad.
Be well...

Dropbox process running under root.

Hello people i just checked activity monitor for a process and i saw the process "dbfseventsd" and i google it and it came up that it is a dropbox process, and it was running under the root user and it was a 32bit process. Can anyone tell me why that process was there note the process is not always there when i use dropbox.
Thanks
Alex

Hello All
Since a couple days, in my Home appears DCQd7rmUW9.tmp. It is a temp file produced by dbfseventsd but operated by Java. It is a DropBox process anyway?

How do I get an edited pdf out of Adobe reader and into my dropbox so I can access it later?

I have an ipad mini that I use to read journal articles. I open them in Adobe Reader and use the tool to edit them (highlight, underline, comment, etc). Once Ihave finished editing them how do I export them back to drop dropbox so that I can use them later on my laptop?

Open the document in the Adobe reader app.
Tap on the document to display the tool bar (if it is no already open.
Tap on the Open In icon (upper right - looks like a box with an arrow)
Select Open In...
Select DropBox (depending on the number of app you have available for this function, you may have to swipe to find it
Drop Box should open with a Save to Dropbox window.
Tap save
You Adobe Reader app should have come with a user guide as one of the preloaded documents. It should have instruction for this as well

In iOs. How do I save Dropbox downloads to my drive on an iPad?

I had a MacBook Pro that was destroyed in a "backpack incident"
Financially I could not replace the MacBook pro at this time. I purchased an iPad 64G-3G
I have backups of my data on my Bootable USB hard drives. I have a DropBox account.
How can I recover music and audiobook files to the iPad?
I can't figure our how to move items out of my Dropbox folder into the storage on my machine?
I have no Mac desktop machine or other laptop, the iPad is it.

If that's what you want to do, the most integrated approach might be iCloud/ iTunes Match. You download to your device what you want, and it stays on your device until you delete it. I think it still has some kinks to work out, but for $25 a year it might be the most practical solution for what you're wanting. Of course, you'll need a computer to get your stuff into the cloud, but once that's done then you're free to download copies as you need them.

My taskbar crashes when I try to open any documents folder. (Windows Explorer, My Library, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Dropbox folder, Skydrive, every folder!)

Hello. I don't know if this is the right category for my problem but here it goes.
Since yesterday, I've been trying to open Windows Explorer folder (which include Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Downloads, Computer, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc.) and as a result my taskbar and my background crashes, the folder doesn't open and then my taskbar
and bg goes back to normal. I searched the problem in other forums but the responses are from last year and this is happening since 29/03/2014 (yesterday) so I don't know if this is a new thing or old. I called my sister because she has this same laptop and
asked her if this is happening to her also and she said it is so I'm starting to think that W8.1 needs an update. Idk :(. We have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it's brand new ! I ordered mine last month.

Hi,
Did you make any change to your system recently? To fix this problem, firstly, you can try to use
SFC /scannow command to fix it for test.
If problem persists, just try to boot your system into Safe mode to test if this problem occures. If problem occures, It would be better to use system resotre to revert your system to a former timepoint state.
To find the reason about this problem, you can use Process Monitor
to capture Explorer.exe when open folder or library.

Dropbox syncing issue

My dropbox is not syncing after updating to Mavericks. It is just stuck and eventually gives me an error message - something about permissions.

Can you post what the error report says?
You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Dropbox syncing conflicts iwork 2013?

Hello all,
I have been using dropbox to sync and share files with others for years. But recently since I updated to iwork 2013 from 09 version, I started to experience a repeated problem, which is very annoying. While I am working on a pages(or numbers) file saved in dropbox folder for a while, a warning window will pop up saying that, another program is using this file, and ask me if I want to "save anyway" or "revert". I first thought maybe it was a problem caused by sharing features, because the file may be in syncing on other people's computers, who are shared with this file. But then I found that, a file saved in my private dropbox folder will give the same warning too when I work on them. So I think it is a syncing conflict somehow caused by dropbox syncing and iwork apps.
This is a really annoying. Because everytime it broke the train of thoughts and I scratched my head to figure out how to make it go away with no success. If anybody could help me, it will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added a lot of bugs.

I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for Apple to fix anything. It has only said it will do a very short list of fixes in the next 6 months and nothing else beyond that.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Currently, Adobe Reader for Android only supports uploading of documents to the cloud using Acrobat.com.

How do i install Acrobat on a new computer from dropbox

I bought a Surface 2 tablet running windows 8. I transferred my files (including Acrobat 9) from my old laptop to dropbox. How do I get Acrobat from dropbox to my tablet?

You have to use the installer and serial number from the original purchase. You cannot transfer software by copying files.

Ways to make competitive with Dropbox

There's a few questions here but mostly comments. First of all, thanks for the iCloud Drive update. I'd like to make iCloud Drive my main cloud storage solution. However, before I can do that there are three things that need to be changed to make it nearly perfect:
1) Ability to share files/folders via a link (similar to Dropbox) and allow specific people to be invited. Also, allowing the link to be phased out after a certain period of time or by a specific date would be great. I can do this on my Synology NAS and Dropbox already.
2) Improve Maildrop: If I am sending a file that is already on my iCloud Drive, then why do I have to wait until a new one gets uploaded? Can't it just link to the file that's already on there? Also, where does it get uploaded? There should be an email attachment folder or something accessible on iCloud Drive. What if I want to send that same file to a different person; do I have to upload that same file again?
3) Improve icloud.com website: You can't drag and drop. Moving files around is much nicer in Dropbox. For how well-designed Yosemite is, the website feels old and slow...needs overhaul with HTML5 and javascript. I also would like to use my iCloud email more often, however, the web interface is horrible. I should be able to pick attachments to send on the web version of email that are already on the cloud. From a bandwidth and time standpoint it seems stupid to have to re-upload a large file in order to attach it if it is already stored online.
4) Improve integration of components on iCloud website: I just emailed myself a message with a name of a restaurant and a date and time. It should at least allow you to quickly add that event to your calendar or look up the restaurant's address from within the web email interface.
Thanks for reading! iCloud Drive is off to a great start. Also, is there any other forum where I could post these comments?
